Ask Download Squad: How do you wrangle text?

Last week, we asked you to pick the best download manager. Interestingly enough, a lot of you just use the one that comes with your browser, especially over broadband. However, some popular alternatives included the FlashGot and DownThemAll extensions for Firefox, and GetRight. And now, this week's question:

After writing the post earlier this week about using one big text file as your PIM, I started thinking about ways to manage that mammoth file. And so did you. Not surprisingly, many of the comments on that post were about using outliners wikis or other tools designed to make text more manageable. So, that's this week's question: what do you use to manage structured text? Notice I said structured text. Let's limit this to programs that let you work with structured (but not formatted) text files —OPML and XML but not RTF or DOC. And don't worry. We'll deal with the more general question of text editors (and the religious wars that inspires) later. Do you use a wiki? Dave Winer's OPML editor? Something entirely different? Let us know. Post your answer in the Comments section below. And, if you'd like to have your question included here, send it to us using this form. We'll post one question each week.
